Zipzoomfly has screwed me for the last time. I wrote them off my list about 8 months ago.

Thats too bad. My last order was a week or so ago, and it still had free shipping. I hope they still have competetive pricing vs Newegg, otherwise there will be no reason to order from them anymore. I've been ordering from them for years (googlegear anyone?) without problems. I love how quick they are with shipping to me (I'm in Cali). Their customer service was weak, but I hardly had to deal with them.

Yeah, it was an awful shame for them to stop doing the free shipping thing, I really liked that! 
Everything I have ever ordered from Zipzoomfly.com always had free shipping. Now, I just checked their site and could not find a single item with free shipping. Maybe this is just for the holiday shopping period, and they will restore the free shipping in January. I sure hope so because I was going to buy components for an entire system in January. If not, I may have to find another alternative. I sent them an email and will post back here if I get a reply from them.

My first online transaction, of any kind, was a video card I purchased from Googlegear.com . I remember I found it trough pricegrabber.com and the reason I chose it was because it had free shipping... And off course it was cheaper because of it...
I really think its a Holyday thing... Free Shipping is a great apeal ZipZoomFly uses to lure customers. They wouldn't just cancel it. And with the busiest time of the year coming, free shipping might turn out to be too costly for them. They'll go back to normal in January...

Same exact thing happened with Newegg.
Roger that.
Look at what happened to ZZF. Remember the old newegg? Compare that to the bubbly version of today. Remember the old ZZF...and now there's a bubbly version of that too. It seems the more bubbly it gets, the more we have to pay.
Well, I hope it's a holiday thing, too, except I don't recall them "suspending" free shipping last year (nor the year before that). If it is just a holiday thing, then it comes off like a fairly shady and cheap money-grab.
I almost solely ordered from ZZF due to the free shipping, which 8 times out of 10 usually meant they beat any other e-tailer, including Newegg. Now, things're neck-and-neck.
